Jackie Baillie rips into SNP for wasting over £5billion of Scottish money since coming to power

[@Diana-007]

Dame Jackie wipes the floor with them once again, shows the deluded SNP at their best!

[@RonBryson-i2k]

Well done Jackie. If only you were in charge in Scotland so much better than Sarwar.

[@Sanchyfab]

The economic crisis is really worrying, especially with everything going on in the global economy.

[@georgeearling905]

Definitely, the current economic instability is causing a lot of concern. With factors like trade tensions and fluctuating markets, it's hard to predict what's coming next.

[@cherylhills3227]

And the pandemic has only exacerbated things. It's led to disruptions in supply chains and forced many businesses to shut down temporarily or even permanently.

[@rodgertim2881]

That's true. And the ripple effects of these disruptions are felt worldwide. It's not just one country's problem; it affects everyone.

[@AliciaCrone]

The massive government stimulus packages implemented to combat the pandemic's economic impact could have long-term consequences, like inflation.

[@christopherherbert2407]

Inflation is definitely a concern. It can erode people's purchasing power and make it harder for businesses to operate profitably.

Jackie Baillie is completely correct. Yet again the SNP have made a mess of finances , money thst Scotland needs.

[@graemeroberts7367]

Is that the same Jackie ballot that’s a mp for Scottish Labour who sent billions of pounds back to England every year it was in charge of Scotlands parliament last time? Because they couldn’t think of anything to spend it on after the thatcher years left Scotland in ruin 😂 😂

[@helenlennon9112]

Labour lying about this as usual. Are you aware that the Labour Party left Scotland with over £30 Billion of PFI DEBT ????

[@raygem1943]

[@Tao_Tology]

Plus cutting Holyrood off from getting a share of the overall UK income tax pot and, instead, only having income tax from inside Scotland...... .......which is losing Holyrood hundreds of millions every year since.

[@helenlennon9112]

@@jeanetteeftekhar6762 Jackie Baillie is not truthful. Jackie Baillie should come clean about the massive debts the last Labour government left Scotland in due to labours PFI/PPE scandal - watch the U-tube film “the only game in town the PFI scandal” This films highlights the dishonesty, corruption,lies and misuse (or worse) of taxpayers funds in Scotland - and this is only about one local authority - North Ayrshire Council - however every local authority in Scotland had the same scandalous, deceptive, corrupt system forced on us. Now we’ve apparently had the nasty Baillie inform us that this new Labour government will privatise the National Health Service. Dumb stupidly and ignorance of the facts made some low life Scots voted for the thieving corrupt Labour Party again, maybe those Scots enjoy being subservient miserable victims. Unfortunately the rest of us have to endure the dishonesty, lies and corruption of the English westsinister control over our country and our resources. The people who gave their vote to the Labour Party are no more than subservient fools in my considered opinion. SAOR ALBA ☮️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☮️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☮️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☮️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☮️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☮️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☮️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I can believe how delusional the SNP sat in that chamber have become . There is time where a change is as good as a holiday and the past 17 year the SNP have been on holiday with the Scottish purse and wasted far far too much to consider their protestations that the other parties would perform worse . They were given a huge mandate to improve Scotland but the things that matter are in tatters. If they can't be clear with properly spending the money from Europe whom they dream to join up with, can't complete the required paperwork or administrative regulations to the standards expected by the Eu for accountability and projection of spending the provided funding, how can a population look to them and actually trust that giving them full control over a fully independent Scotland and the huge amount of bureaucracy that would entail between the home nations, the Eu and the global economic market would be carried out in a fashion that wouldn't automatically become obfuscated and corruptible given the hell of alot of internal issue that they have faced with corruption and till dipping by their members with political positions.
